==Music video== The music video for "Dooo It!" features a close-up shot of Cyrus smoking marijuana, licking and regurgitating glitter and pouring home-made facial masks on her face.<ref name=Spin/> It was shot in July 2015. ''Billboard''{{'s}} Erin Strecker said of the video: "It's gross, intriguing, performance art-y and may make you want to take up crafting, stat."<ref name=Strecker/> ''Jezebel'' described it as "glitter bukkake"{{r|Escobedo Shepherd (2015)}}, and ''The Harvard Crimson'' suggests that "[i]f you look closely enough, given that you have the stomach to do so, you can probably see the seven deadly sins represented. Perhaps in 'Dooo It!,' Cyrus, like John Doe in that one Fincher flick, merely holds a mirror to her morally empty society. If we recoil in horror, it is hardly the mirror's fault."{{r|Levin (2015)}}
